Recycle bin events

You can subscribe for events that are raised every time an item is send to the Recycle bin, restored or permanently deleted. For more information about the Sitefinity CMS event system see Event system: EventHub.

The following code demonstrates how to subscribe for Recycle bin-related data events. Thus, you get the item each time it is moved to, restored, or permanently deleted from the Recycle bin:

using System;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.Events;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.RecycleBin;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Services;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
   public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
   {
       protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           Bootstrapper.Bootstrapped += Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped;
       }

       private void Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           EventHub.Subscribe<IRecyclableDataEvent>(evt => IRecyclableDataEventHandler(evt));
       }

       public void IRecyclableDataEventHandler(IRecyclableDataEvent e)
       {
           IRecycleBinManager recycleBinItemsManager = RecycleBinManagerFactory.GetManager();

           if (e.RecycleBinAction == RecycleBinAction.MoveToRecycleBin)
           {
               // Item was moved to the Recycle Bin 
               var getItem = recycleBinItemsManager.GetItem(e.ItemType, e.ItemId);
           }
           if (e.RecycleBinAction == RecycleBinAction.RestoreFromRecycleBin)
           {
               // Item was restored from the Recycle Bin
               var getItem = recycleBinItemsManager.GetItem(e.ItemType, e.ItemId);
           }
           if (e.RecycleBinAction == RecycleBinAction.PermanentDelete)
           {
               // Item was permanently deleted 
               var getItem = recycleBinItemsManager.GetItem(e.ItemType, e.ItemId);
           }
       }
   }
}
